Rio Pinar Golf

Members and staff are rude if you are a beginner and take your time on the course. Course was way overbooked this day and we were very rushed, had to pick up on 4 holes - martial kept following us in a cart. Not very hospitable and welcoming. Go on slow days - fun course and very forgiving. Great facilities. Course pretty well kept.

Rio Pinar is a really nice golf course. My expectations were not high because of the moderate rating. I give this course a solid 4.5. It's not Shingle Creek, but it's not far behind. For the money we paid (which was one third the cost of Shingle Creek, Disney, Champions Gate...), I am extremely happy. As Arnold said.....I'll be back!

Great to see the new owners putting in the effort to restore this course. It's in decent shape, though you need to stay in the fairways. If you get a little wide, current conditions make it extra penal.

Greens are good, though slow. Range and practice area should be solid in about another month (Top Tracer range currently being installed).

Clubhouse is still one of the great features of this course, with arguably one of the best bars of all Central Florida golf courses.

Course was a pleasant experience. We played as a twosome and had no delays in our 3.5 hour round. I will definitely be back.

The club has lots of memorabilia of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicolas, Gary Player and many moregreats of the past. Lots of money and work are being invested and made 5o bring this venue back to its former glory. The greens were good and the fairways were patchy in some areas. I love 5he layout. Very challenging. 8 will be back.

Good round here. Friendly staff. Lovely club house

This course was <40$ on weekdays and <60 and weekends. I don’t see any improvements, other than no longer having a temporary green on hole 6. Paid an extra 30 dollars to have my wife ride along in the cart. I was completely okay with spending the extra money, BUT i got paired with an 8 year old girl that was playing a practice round for a tournament, and a father son duo. WHICH MEANS, i would’ve had my own cart anyways even if i came without my wife. Felt like a spit to my face since we needed 3 carts regardless for i was the last one to check in for our group. Would not pay 80$ to play here on saturday. Go play Mission Inn for some superior golf and amazing holes. Go play wedgefield for 48 for a 8am sunday for better golf. Rio should still be 50 at most.

Given the history, fun course to play. Grass was a little thin and lots of improvements going on. The historical photos in the clubhouse were fantastic. Greens were decent

I arrived and there were 10-15 people waiting for carts. My tee time was in 15 minutes and I was told there was a “slight back up.” The slight backup was really an hour behind schedule and it was already 3:30. It would have been nice to receive a call letting me know about the delay, so I could cancel before driving 25 minutes each way. They need to book their tee times further apart. Every hole was slammed.

Played 26, first 18 was a little slow, last 9 was more my speed. Greens were in pretty good shape, better than North Shore 2 days earlier. Good bit of construction on the range. Great local course.
